Śiva-Rātrī

The Krishna consciousness tradition places great emphasis not only on worship of Lord Krishna, but also on the worship of His devotees. Śiva-rātrī is the celebration to honor the foremost devotee, Mahādeva, Lord Śiva. Śivaji presides over the festival in his deity form as well as linga form. Everyone is invited to bathe the Śiva linga. The celebration includes an enlightening discourse on his pastimes, chanting of the holy names of the Lord, and no less than a six course feast.

Śrī Gaura-pūrṇima

Śrī Gaura-pūrṇima could easily be called our temple’s most beloved festival. Gaura, also known as Caitanya Mahaprabhu, appears in Navadvipa on the full moon day, to bring “the storehouse of love of God” to every living being. He comes to propagate the chanting of the holy names of the Lord. Kṛṣṇadasa Kaviraja, one of His biographers, describes that anyone who met Caitanya Mahaprabhu and heard His chanting of HareKṛṣṇa became a pure devotee of Lord Krishna and in turn he would cause so ...

Nṛsiṁha Caturdasi

The appearance of Lord Nṛsiṁhadev is unlike any other advent of the Lord, and is a favorite celebration among the Vaisnavas. The half-man, half-lion incarnation appears to protect His beloved pure devotee Prahlada from the demoniac king who was about to kill him. His father, the king, strikes a nearby pillar with his sword and challenges his son, “Can your God protect you now? Is your God here?” Lord Nṛsiṁhadev manifests Himself from within the pillar and proceeds to destroy the heinous king...

Sri Sri Radha Govinda Festival

The first Sunday of June brings a little-known, but no less beloved festival, when temple president Svavasa prabhu and his wife Tadit “bring their altar to the temple.” They maintain and share with us the worship of the beautiful SriSri Radha-Govinda, Deities worshipped by the late Gouri mataji. Gouri was a sankirtana devotee at New Dwaraka temple and a disciple of Srila Prabhupada. Gouri was well known and loved here in New Dwaraka in the 70’s and 80’s. She left her body in Vrndavana Dhama, the...

Rādhāṣṭamī

The best worshipper and most beloved devotee of Lord Kṛṣṇa is Śrīmati Rādhārānī. She is His eternal consort and She appears in this world on the eighth day of the waxing moon in Barsāna in the home of Vṛṣbhānu Mahārāja and Kīrtidā.

Govardhana Pūjā

The story is told in the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam of how eight-year-old Kṛṣṇa challenged the long-held tradition in His village to worship Indra to get rain for crops. He asked them, “What benefit is there in worshiping an angry god, because we are afraid of offending him? Instead, why not worship Govardhana Hill, because it supplies all of the needs of the cows and cowherd people of Vṛndāvana.” When the cow herders eventually agreed to this proposal and commenced worship of Govardhana Hill, Indra trie...

Disappearance of Śrīla Prabhupāda

On the day of the anniversary of Śrīla Prabhupāda’s departure from this world, a festival is held every year to remember and glorify His Divine Grace. Śrīla Prabhupāda established the pure traditional practice of bhakti-yoga in the western world. Śrīla Prabhupāda trained his disciples how to correctly establish the worship of Lord Kṛṣṇa and celebration of His festivals. His influence is sorely missed but in separation we feel the compelling emotions that allow us to relive his memory and inspire...

Marriage of Tulasī & Śālagrāma

This is the anniversary day of the renowned wedding of Lord Kṛṣṇa to His beloved devotee, Śrīmati Tulasī Devī. There is a long history which leads up to this sacred nuptial agreement and it can be found in the Padma Purāṇa. In short, Tulasī becomes very upset with Kṛṣṇa for an insult to Her. She calls Him stone-hearted and curses Him to take the form of a stone, or śila. Laughing heartily, Kṛṣṇa accepts the curse, but issues a counter-curse. Tulasī, also known as Vṛndā Devī, must in turn take th...

Advent of Bhagavad-Gītā Mahā Yajña

Śrīmad Bhagavad-Gītā literally means the auspicious song of God. Gītā Jayanti is that day when it was first heard. Arjuna took the position of Kṛṣṇa’s disciple and received Kṛṣṇa’s unparalleled words of wisdom. Bhagavad-Gītā has survived through countless ages as a timeless lesson for all mankind. The darkness of ignorance can be destroyed with the shining lamp of knowledge; on this day three agni-hotras are lit, and the 700 verses of Bhagavad-Gītā chanted in unison by our congregation of Gītā e...

Our Founder Acharya

Srila Prabhupada came to New York in 1965 and in twelve short years made the chanting of ‘Hare Krishna’ known throughout the world. He started a spiritual revolution wherein devotion, simplicity and compassion became the direction for living.
